A Letter to My Son

A Letter to My Son is a cathartic journey spanning twenty years in the narrator Katlyn Wright's life: beginning when she is eleven years old and ending when her son, Calvin, is the same age.

This short fiction sequence follows her from small-town Saskatchewan in the early eighties to the bustling city life of Calgary, Alberta. It recalls her personal struggles along the way.

This is a candid tale, tackling societal taboos such as mental illness, single parenting, homosexuality, and domestic abuse with compassion and thoughtfulness.
